We propose an algorithm to estimate the &#x201C;lifetime&#x201D; of events from retinal cameras, such as a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS). Unlike standard CMOS cameras, a DVS only transmits pixel-level brightness changes (&#x201C;events&#x201D;) at the time they occur with micro-second resolution. Due to its low latency and sparse output, this sensor is very… (More)

—We present a method to predict collisions with objects thrown at a quadrotor using a pair of dynamic vision sensors (DVS). Due to the micro-second temporal resolution of these sensors and the sparsity of their output, the object's trajectory can be estimated with minimal latency. Unlike standard cameras that send frames at a fixed frame rate, a DVS only… (More)
